Henniker Man Arrested On Charges After Chase Through Concord

CONCORD, NH — A local man with a number of priors was arrested again this morning after a high-speed chase on two Interstates and through the West End of the city. According to New Hampshire State Police, a trooper attempted to make a motor vehicle stop at just before 1:30 a.m. on I-93. The vehicle – a 2009 Nissan Rouge – had reportedly made multiple lane control violations, according to state police. The driver, however, failed to stop for police and led troopers on a chase on I-93 north, I-89 north, and into Concord.

"The pursuit continued through various streets in Concord, continuing to drive erratically and hazardously," according to Sgt. Irwin Malilay of the Troop D. "The vehicle was successfully spiked by Concord police on Pleasant Street and eventually came to a stop on Langley Parkway."
